10 DSLR cameras from the CASD Foundation (See article below written for Angie Lynch)
It is our feeling that the School Board has constructed an excellent educational facility using taxpayer money. The CASD Foundation gives teachers the opportunity to provide their students with state-of-the-art equipment as it has done with the Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras (DSLR) for the Arts and Technology grant that we received last year.
Having these professional quality cameras has helped motivate our students to achieve a higher level of learning. They literally run to Photography class to claim a camera to complete their assignments with more creativity and self-pride. The Drawing and Painting students are using these wonderful cameras for a “Pencil vs. Camera” assignment and for documenting their artwork for their portfolios along with photograph manipulation.
Over 250 students have used these DSLR cameras this semester and that number will certainly double by the end of the year. We fully expect to see our enrollment increase next year due to the funding of this grant.

Mr. DiBarry - Drafting
For Semester two 12-13 school year, Mr. DiBarry recruited students from study halls and other oversubscribed classes in order to increase numbers for two classes that were previously cut due to low enrollments.

A Recent Email to Mr. DiBarry
I thought you would find this real interesting, since I've been in the Civil Engineering program at Penn State Harrisburg I've joined a club here called the American Society of Civil Engineers. Every year they compete in a steel bridge building competition. And believe it or not, despite it being my first year I landed an Officer position as a Design Lead for the Steel Bridge Team. Out of about 50 civil engineers I was the only one with AUTOCAD and SOLIDWORKS/ INVENTOR experience. I was a little shocked about this and I asked around, apparently they don’t consider learning CAD or solid works a necessary skill. Civil engineers take no drafting or designing classes at all. The only reason I took a class in it was because I was in Mechanical before I switched to civil.
It seems a bit stupid to me, because I am sure knowing how to read a drawing would be a useful skill and at the Civil -Engineering Career fair all the companies I talked to wanted people experienced in CADD (Though the lack of competition scored me interviews with two companies who needed drafters so I'm not going to complain...loudly). So I have My Dad and You to thank for potentially getting me some internships. Let’s hope!”

Technology Ed. - Design & Engineering - Production
7the grade Technology Ed:
Communication Unit - includes traditional & computer aided drawing (CAD) techniques. Students utilize various math skills focusing on measurement using English and metric systems. Orthographic and Isometric drawings are done in the traditional and CAD format.
Manufacturing Unit – students use problem solving, math and time management skills to produce acrylic and wood projects (footstool, napkin holder, and memo pad). A wide variety of math, writing and decision making skills are stressed.

8th grade – Design & Engineering:
Students continue to build on their drawing experiences from 7th grade by doing more complicated drawings (traditional & CAD). They develop research skills as they look at historical connections to engineering and bridge design. Problem solving exercises encourage students to make decisions as they use the CAD program to design and build a scale size bridge. Math and writing skills are incorporated into many of the assignments.

8th grade – Production:
Students are introduced to hand tools and wood shop machinery to produce an individual wood project (Gum/Candy Dispenser). Areas stressed are safety, math and problem solving skills. The history of “Manufacturing” is explored and students form a “company”. Jobs are assigned and students experience a mass production activity requiring working as a team, president, supervisor and quality control manager, etc.
